&quot;Friends are God&#039;s way of apologizing to us for our families.&quot;<br /> <br /> Thank God for friends like you!


If you knew a friend of yours would turn you in, would you?
If you knew that you were going to be spit upon, would you?
If you knew that you were going to be whipped 39 times, would you?
If you knew that you were going be sold for a slaves price, would you?
If you knew that you were going to be mocked and scorned at, would you?
If you knew that you were going to be hung on a cross, would you?

Jesus knew His own friends would turn him in, He did it.
Jesus knew that He was going to be spit upon, He did it.
Jesus knew that He was going to be whipped 39 times, He did it.
Jesus knew that He was going to be sold for a slaves price, He did it.
Jesus knew that He was going to be mocked and scorned at, He did it.
Jesus knew that He was going to be nailed to the cross, He did it.

So, would you do it?

I LOVE THIS!!!!! <3  The meaning is so deep and filled with Christianity, there is no doubt that the Lord was with you when you wrote this.  God gave you such an amazing talent to try to preach to others using the gift of writing that he gave you and you are using it and going above and beyond anyone else's expectations.  The question at the end really stirs emotion in the reader and makes you wonder.....would you? which is what you were trying to get at the whole time.  Great job!!!  :)
